Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

My grandmother used the keys-in-hand method. Sleeping on a couch with one arm with keys outwards. Once the hand let the keys fall she woke up. That was apparently perfect for her sleep cycle.

Interesting. I suspect keys would not be enough to wake me up...maybe a bowling ball...

I'd need the bowling ball to start a Rube Goldberg machine that flips me off the couch.

Now try to see if you can hold a bowling ball for the duration of trying to fall asleep

well, seems there's a market for a small hand-held thingy that sets off an alarm when it hits the ground!
